1.Oh, the best friend to have is Jesus,When the cares of life upon you roll,He will heal the wounded heart,He will strength and grace impart;Oh, the best friend to have is Jesus.Chorus:The best friend to have is Jesus,The best friend to have is Jesus,He will help you when you fall,He will hear you when you call;Oh, the best friend to have is Jesus.2.What a friend I have found in Jesus!Peace and comfort to my soul He brings;Leaning on His mighty arm,I will fear no ill nor harm;Oh, the best friend to have is Jesus. [Chorus]3.Tho' I pass thro' the night of sorrow,And the chilly waves of Jordan roll,Never need I shrink nor fear,For my Saviour is so near;Oh, the best friend to have is Jesus. [Chorus]4.When at last to our home we gather,With the faithful who have gone before,We will sing upon the shore,Praising Him forevermore;Oh, the best friend to have is Jesus. [Chorus]
